So, I'm not really good at smiling and nodding, and that is what I keep reading for most aftercare for DS, including Dr. Boyce.
So, do they do correct labs? Are they open when you say I want "such and such" lab done? Are they supportive when you say you are following a different vitamin regimen. What exactly is that process like? Do they freak out if something is too high or low or question why you are taking such a high dosage of whatever. Just wanting to know what that is like.
When I have had aftercare before I had to write out a food diary...if I'm eating like a DSer and they think I need to eat like an RNY what comes from that meeting? I don't need anymore guilt. At my old doctor (with the band) they wanted us to eat 400-600 calories a day because that's why RNY are supposed to eat in the losing phase. I thought that was ridiculous, especially since I had all of my stomach and felt HUNGER. lol.
The other stuff I think I could handle, follow-up wise, if it's like most after-care. I won't be going to many meetings because I live out of town.
Any other things you find useful about what you have experienced in aftercare (Boyce or not) I would love to hear it.
Thanks!
